In this case though, it's not a hallucination, there's nothing false in that response, it just completely misinterpreted what the user was asking.

How does Microsoft manage to be both ahead and behind the curve? A decade before Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, they already were doing the same thing, and somehow blew it?

Windows CE in general blows me away how the underlying tech is fundamentally the same as modern smartphones (system is a ROM, had ARM support, goes to sleep by default) and Microsoft was still too slow to react to the iPhone. God I miss my PDA.

I do this with Discord and Zoom as an alternative to installing their actual apps. 99% of the functionality is there anyway, and the 1% is stuff I don't want anyway

The paragraph after is golden:

The Met confirmed to the BBC that officers had visited Mr Bromley about the incident and that although no arrests had been made, the force took "reports of hate crime seriously".

I was thinking this, because that's what Facepunch did when they stopped Linux support. If you had played Rust at all on Linux, regardless of hours, you were eligible for a refund.

There's some irony of this being in Reading, PA..

Democratic regime manifest

Never thought I'd see someone unironically chant Democracy Manifest, but here we are

My initial thought of an "old" iPhone would be one without Touch ID (square home button), but it's actually insane to think that a 10 year old iPhone today is the iPhone 6. That iPhone has (had?) 3D Touch, Touch ID, and Apple Pay. Those all still sound like modern features to me.

Do you have a source? I'd be interested in seeing how the numbers look at present. I otherwise looked into this briefly myself, and this article from ScienceFocus mentions a 2019 study by Oxford University that found more greenhouse gases are released growing lab meat than regular meat, although ScienceFocus argued that if mass produced on a similar scale to regular meat and if renewable energy was used instead, the emissions could be better than regular meat.

Another website indicates in future tense that lab-grown meat "could cut down on water usage by 90%"

I love that it's also got build instructions for Windows and macOS

That's what my thoughts were with this. The sheer amount of water alone to produce meat^1^ makes the bar very low for plant-based alternatives

It's ridiculous, its enabled by default on any new device you set up and sign in to. I could have missed turning off iCloud on my iMac, but I didn't have any problems before updating it, and then after I updated it I had iCloud full notifications, so I'm pretty sure it was off.

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn't adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo).

However, I'm not that familiar with Linux Mint (even though I've daily driven Linux for nearly 10 years, I very casually use LMDE) and I'm not sure if this is a Cinnamon problem or if the lock screen is under a different program.

Looking at Linux Mint's webpage on reporting a bug (https://projects.linuxmint.com/reporting-an-issue.html) they seem to mostly use Cinnamon as an example, but I don't want to report this issue as a Cinnamon issue if it's the wrong project.

In case this is platform specific, my device's details are below:

  • Host: Dell Latitude E6420
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM (Sandy Bridge)
  • GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family
  • Kernel: 6.1.0-21-amd64
  • DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4
  • WM: Mutter (Muffin)
  • Display Server: X11

I've never filed a bug report in my life before, usually I just put up with the issue until it's eventually fixed, but I feel this is a moderate security issue that should be flagged.
